Contenuti

Requirements/Prior knowledge

Steady-state process simulation (a unit within the course of Process Analysis for Energy and Environment covers this topic).

Basic knowledge of basic Feedback control loops and of the effect of tuning parameter on the dynamic response of the system.

Fluent spoken and written English is a necessary pre-requisite: all lectures and tutorials, and all study material will be in English.

Course Contents

- Switching from steady state to dynamic simulation, understanding the basics of pressure-flow relationship and the resulting degrees of freedom. Providing the correct number of independent dynamic specifications.
- Observation and understanding of various simple feed-back controllers.
- Implementation and analysis of different control strategies: cascade control, split-range control.
- Use of dynamic simulation for the evaluation of time-varying releases (from pressure relief devices, full bore rupture of piping, etc,...).

Metodi didattici

Most of the course will be taught through the analysis of examples solved with the aid of a commercial process simulation software. Some lectures about theoretical background aspects are also included when required.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

Achievements will be assessed by means of a final in-classroom exercise or a following assignment. This is based on an analytical assessment of the "expected learning outcomes" described above.
In order to properly assess such achievement students should independently solve a problem using the software tool taught, producing a file with the results and a short report.

Strumenti a supporto della didattica

Lecture slides about required theoretical background text and solution files of examples shown during the course (available on virtuale.unibo.it)
